Autonomously aligning docking bodies is provided. A first-axis surface is identified as a target axis surface corresponding to a desired docking approach vector of a first body to a second body. The first body is maneuvered to align relative to a second-axis surface until a third-axis surface is less than a defined surface detection threshold level. The first body is continued to be maneuvered to align relative to the third-axis surface until the second-axis surface is less than the defined surface detection threshold level. Docking is completed between the first body and the second body in accordance with the desired docking approach vector based on alignment of the first body with the target axis surface.

Docking orientation device

A system, method and program product for identifying a risk hazard vulnerability at a target environment and presenting a detected risk hazard. The method configures an evaluator mobile computing device to obtain, via the mobile device, a real-world view or image data of items/objects in a target real-world environment and, optionally, or in addition, obtain other context data associated with the target environment. The method invokes operations of a risk vulnerability model to detect a risk associated with the target object within the real-world view and based on any additional associated context data. The method causes the mobile device to further generate a visual, audible or haptics indication of the identified risk vulnerability and/or a calculated risk score of the target object for display on the mobile computing device and display the risk vulnerability indication on the real-world view displayed at the mobile device.

Augmented reality risk vulnerability analysis

A golf swing training device comprises a swing guide, a base structure adapted to lie on a generally horizontal surface and a framework on the base structure for supporting the swing guide in position above the base structure in a plane at a selected angle to the horizontal surface. The swing guide has a lower portion in front of the golfer at a relatively low elevation with respect to the surface and an upper portion in back of the golfer at a relatively high elevation with respect to the surface. The framework comprises a forward ring member support on the base structure supporting the lower portion of the swing guide and permitting variation of the angle of the plane of the swing guide, and a rearward articulated prop for propping up the upper portion of the swing guide. The rearward articulated prop is pivoted at one end thereof constituting its lower end on the base structure for angular adjustment about a generally horizontal axis extending transversely with respect to the base structure generally adjacent the surface and pivotally connected at the other end thereof constituting its upper end to the upper portion of the swing guide. Articulation of the prop enables adjustment of the elevation of the upper portion of the swing guide and the angle of the plane of the swing guide.
